Kayso, I was all excited about competing in the AMV contest this year, since I haven't been able to the past two years. (The first one I did in the wrong format, and the second I didn't get the vids done in time)
So, I bought myself some fancy software--Vegas 6.0--and made some pretty sexy AMVs. However, there's just one problem.
Once the videos are made and saved, the files are GINORMOUS. 452MB, 789MB, 960MB, and 1GB.
I mean, Sweet Jesus. Not only are they too big to be uploaded to most websites, but they are also waaaaaaay over the maximum amount allowed in the contest.
And now, with deadline fast approaching, I am turning to the only place I have left. I don't have the slightest clue how to compress the files to an appropriate size without completely Fudging up the quality. Does anyone here have Sony Vegas and know how to do this? I am more than willing to listen.
And, if this is the wrong place to ask for help, please remove this topic.
To anyone actually willing to read through this and help a newblet out, you have my most heartfelt thanks.
